AT the liquor election in Atlanta, and Fu-
ton county. las, Saturday prohibition was de-
feaied BY majority Of more than eleven hun
dred votes Some voted against prohibition
because it had failed TO prevent much consump-
NON Of liquor; SEINE because it infrnged upon
personal liberty some because the public reve-
nues were diminished in default of income from
licenses some because the home liquor business
was large interest and prevented much money
from being sent abroad some because they desired
liquor conveniently and legally supplied when
ever they wanted to drink or purchase i, for any
use; some for all of these reasons, and some 9th
er because they wanted the privilege Of getting
vilely drunk whenever they choose.
